CHUTION
OBSERVE THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Though Pegasus takes the utmost care to produce safe sewing machines and devices, operators
should follow these basic safety rules.
8 To prevent accidents, do not remove safety devices or parts while operating the machine.
8 Do not leave tools or other unnecessary objects on the machine table while operating the ma-
chine.
8 Before maintenance, adjusting, cleaning, threading or replacing the needle, and to prevent acci-
dents, be sure the
power is turned off, Check that the machine will not operate when the pedal is
pressed.
NOTE
In case a crutch type motor is used, it will keep on rotating by inertia after turning off power supply
CD. If the machine pedal @ is stepped on inadvertently, it is dangerous because the machine will move
unexpectedly. Keep on stepping on the machine pedal @ until the machine comes to a stop after turning
off power supply CD.

e Turn the power off before leaving the machine table.
e In the event of a power failure, be sure to turn the machine off.
